Very Clean and classy shared bedroom. With a confortable charging port for each bed.
The toilet is inside the room closed to the beds, which obviously will produce a bad smell when in used and disconfort other guest.

The hostel is very nice spotless, well located. Staff was polite, the size of the room was big enough, the view was wonderful to the canal and the bridge. There had no time enough for taste the breakfast.
Even though I was delighted with the spotless room and bathroom inside the problem was the shower. The shower wasn’t hot water at all. On Saturday I got a cold shower and Sunday I should’ve used the outside common shower.

It is a very nice building and clean. The location is great and the facilities very good.
Although I connected my laptop to the internet to do some work, it was quite slow at times.

As always, very good. This time we had a room with its own bathroom. Highly recommended. I really liked the area, a very recommendable neighbourhood.
The shower curtain smelled quite musty. I suppose if I had mentioned it, they would have changed it.

Was close to the venue I was attending to. And a corner shop on the corner.
Room was freezing even with the heater all the way up, Had to turn the shower up to maximum to feel the heat which it was still lukewarm. The mattress was something you’d have on a hospital bed. Which the sheet for the mattress also had a hole in it. Rook very bland. Hear everything between the corridors.

Nice for a short trip. Bed was comfortable, nice duvet and pillow. Elevator was a godsend. Easy walk to plenty of amenities. Café is nice to buy a coffee from.
Bathrooms are very small and pokey and everything tends to get wet when you shower. A floor mat of some sort would have been greatly appreciated.

Super friendly staff, *great* location, clean comfortable rooms and bedding. I also loved the recreation rooms - very cozy.
A single toilet and shower for a 6 person dorm are wholly insufficient. It wasn't apparent that there were other options on the floor (I didn't see any). 60 minute wait for the bathroom in the morning. Wasn't crazy about this.

The YHA was amazing value - a fantastic, central location at a fraction of the price of hotels around us. We had a private room that slept five, accomodating our family, with a private bathroom. We had a view of the canal from our room - which our four-year-old loved as we could watch the geese.
The bathroom was small, but sufficient.
The breakfast service was poor. There wasn't enough cooked breakfast to feed all five of us at once, and the component parts kept being cooked at different speeds meaning we'd have to go up for an egg, or tomatoes, etc as they were cooked or else miss out as new guests arrived for their breakfast.

I went i booked it already theh charge me extra for early date some money
The GUy at desk told me i will be stay in one room for 2 days but the very first morning the cleaner told me that other guest are comming in rhis room in 10 minutes so i have to leave the room and check in later to different room whcih was very frustating and anooying also

Very kind staff. The room was clean and comfortable. I shared the room with other (very well behaved) travellers and I had no issue whatsoever.
Nice breakfast, and great location (the area is full of nice pubs and places to go)
Nothing to complain about. Towels need to be rented, but it makes perfect sense when it comes to hostels. And the rental fee (let's call it like that) is very affordable (2.5, total stay)

The bathroom was a bit small and the shower pressure wasn’t too great.

Room was super clean and quiet! The bathroom was perfectly clean as well!
I missed having a curtain in the bed for a bit more privacy and the possibility of having air-co or dehumidifier. Slightly out of the "city center"

Friendly staff and smooth check-in experience. Great location with views of the canals and within walking distance of the roman ruins. The free parking was a huge plus!
Our room faced the garbage disposal as well as the overground tracks. Inevitably, the odious scent of garbage wafted through our room when we had our windows open to air it.
The room also did not look as pictured. It was a more dated version with a tiny plasticy shower and toilet area reminiscent of temporary lodgings. Literally a raised box with a toilet + shower. Very tight. The rest of the room was pretty spacious though. What a pity!

Good location.
Unlivable due to constant door slamming. Staff doesn't do anything to try to help. Other reviewers mentioned this to. There is a main door next to some of the rooms that will slam constantly. At 3 AM I decided I was tired of it so I walked to a local McDonalds so that I could get some relief.
Not to mention, WiFi rarely works in the rooms.
